Towards Powerful Educational Knowledge
This book explores what constitutes valid or powerful educational knowledge and the role of educational theorising in questions of educational practice. It examines the challenges facing the ‘deliberative’ educational knowledge traditions of educational foundations, curriculum theory and Didaktik as a consequence of the rising tide of empiricism in educational research, the ‘what works’ agenda in global educational reform and internal fragmentation within the traditions themselves. By examining the potential for the reconfiguration or reconstruction of these traditions, the book explores the possibility of reinvigorating deliberative educational theorising in ways that could provide ...

"Author James Mills presents an amazing, detailed history review of the German surface-to-air guided missile technology development." —Military Review World War II saw the appearance of numerous revolutionary armaments on both sides of the conflict that would radically change the nature of warfare, from jet aircraft to the ballistic missile and the atomic bomb. The greatest conflagration in history also saw the conception of the first surface-to-air guided missile systems, technology pioneered by German scientists and engineers through an extensive development program which ran from 1942 to 1945.

The Future of Ecocriticism
As we enter the second decade of the twenty-first century, environmental concerns dominate the media headlines, from rampant poverty in the developing world to nuclear accidents in industrialized nations. How did human civilization arrive at its current predicaments, and what can we do to temper our habits of mind and mitigate society’s environmentally (and socially) destructive behaviors? The field of ecocriticism (also sometimes called “environmental criticism”) attempts to grapple with such issues. A branch of literary and cultural studies that essentially began in North America in the 1970s, ecocriticism is currently one of the most quickly developing areas of environmental researc...

It's How You Flip It
The cultural practices of hip-hop have been among people's favorite forms of popular culture for decades. Due to this popularity, rap, breaking, graffiti, beatboxing and other practices have entered the field of education. At the intersection of hip-hop and music education, scholars, artists, and educators cooperate in this volume to investigate topics such as representations of gangsta rap in school textbooks, the possibilities and limits of working with hip-hop in an intersectional critical music pedagogy context, and the reflection of hip-hop artists on their work in music education institutions. In addition, the contributors provide ideas for how research and theory can be transferred and applied to music educational practice.

Bildungstheoretische Didaktik
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Sport - Sportpädagogik, Didaktik, Note: 1,7, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Veranstaltung: Theorien der Didaktik und Konzepte für den Sportunterricht, 4 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In meiner Arbeit befasse ich mich mit der Bildungstheoretischen Didaktik nach Wolfgang Klafki und den anderen bedeutenden Bildungstheoretikern. Besonderen Schwerpunkt habe ich auf die Betrachtung der formalen und materialen Bildungstheorien gelegt. Die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit dieser Materie erscheint mir für meine spätere berufliche Aufgabe von größter Wichtigkeit zu sein, da ohne ein tieferes Verständnis für die von Klafki entwickelte didaktische Analyse Unterricht kaum den Anforderungen genügen kann. Ein Lehrer hat seinen Unterricht, den Bildungsinhalt und den Bildungsgehalt stets nach den von Klafki aufgezeigten Kriterien zu überprüfen und entsprechend zu planen.
